I am in the process of setting up my very first email server. I can get everything up and running (thanks to apt-get). Manage to tie the users with system users.
Now I am setting up virtual users for dovecot. But however, I also notice I can setup users in sendmail itself.
Why is it so that you can setup users in 2 different places. Other mail…
I've a Ubuntu webserver with Sendmail as my MTA
Currently when i email outside my webserver's domain e.g. example.com to something like gmail or any other email outside the example.com domain it works perfectly. I don't want my sendmail daemon to recognize example.com as a local address I want it to send to example.com the same way any other…
We have a sendmail server that also works as DHCP, DNS, and a gateway to our ISP. It has three network interfaces, one for our ISP ( static IP) and the other two is for LANS on different subnet. The hardware is quite old and we've been experiencing downtime due to hardware failures, so we have decided to upgrade the hardware and while at it…
I have tried 10 different emails hosted at Google, Yahoo!, GoDaddy, and some that are privately hosted, and each time I get the following errors. I have blocked sensitive information, but you will be able to see the errors.

I have a website the contact form has been failing silently for two weeks (Wordpress + Contact form 7).
Apparently updating to Contact Form 7 made the assigned email to fail some_email@telefonica.net, I also tested with some_email@me.com and it also failed until I tried with gmail and it finally worked.
Apparently @telefonica.net and…
My server is set to send all email to a corporate relay server. For the company domain, it works perfectly.
I've recently found emails being sent to an outside domain are getting the hostname of my server appended to the email prior to being sent. Here is the log entry for one such attempt.

Hello, we'd like to implement a daily spam report to our users like Dreamhost does.
Basically we need to send a daily mail (at midnight for example) to inform a single user of all the emails currently in his spam folder with the related score to let them look right away if there's a false positive.
We use a basic…
Hello Sir,

Hello.
How do I setup sendmail so that it does not apply dnsbl to authenticated SMTP users? One of our offices is using wireless internet and of course it's widely used by spammers. So, all of it's dynamic Ips already blacklisted by SpamHaus.
Hi folks,
I'm trying to configure a server with Sendmail and Mailman. I've been getting "Broken pipe" errors for a while, and have slowly been debugging. I fixed some permission issues, and changed the user that Mailman expects to be called from, among other things. Finally, I'd gone through everything I…
I am running sendmail on CentOS.
I am interested if anyone knows how to add a X-RBL-Warning for incoming messages (without rejecting the mail). I just want to add the X-RBL-Warning header so that our downstream filters can work with it.
Thanks,
John
Hello,
I recently learned of the joys of square brackets with SMART_HOST to have sendmail ignore MX lookups. I need this functionality, however, I can't seem to make it persistant. Sending mail with -Am works, however, -bm does not. In the -Am case, the correct mail server is used. In the -bm case, an MX…
I'm trying to execute a sendmail alias script using this
# aliases for my system

We are running an outbound SPAM filter, and we'd like to be able to have the mail sent through that filter, even when it's to a local user. Is there a way to force sendmail to use the SMART_HOST, even when it is going to be delivered locally?
If I wanted to send an email to a user on the same linux machine, I can run:

It will give me the error:

I am not a unix expert, more like a novice. I have one user account replicated on two unix boxes receiving same mails on both boxes for fail over. Sendmail has mimedefang utility running to process these mails. After all the processing is complete, more like weeding the spam, viruses…
